Summary

The phenomenon of time travel between soulmates is rare but well-documented. Specific incidents vary in duration as well as direction and distance of travel. People can be replaced with older or younger versions of themselves, swapping for minutes or months. But time travel that replaces one partner with the other? That may just be a first.

Summary

Yuri Plisetsky is 24 years old and has never gone through a serious breakup before. The trick to coping, he’s learned, is to drink himself into oblivion. If only Georgi Popovich would let him get on with it instead of trying to make him talk about his feelings.

Summary

It wasn’t hard to spot a 180cm platinum blond in Fukuoka International Airport. Especially when he was the only person wearing sunglasses. Indoors. At night.

Mari picks Viktor up at the airport when he returns from Moscow. Without Yuuri there to play his usual role of interpreter, they learn to communicate around their linguistic, cultural, and personal barriers.

Summary

In which Yuuri is broke and jobless and carrying a baby for retired figure skater Victor Nikiforov, Victor is intent on breaking every one of their surrogacy agency's rules, and Phichit tries really, really hard to be a voice of reason.

Summary

“Do you still paint your nails at all?” Yuuri asks.“Yeah,” Victor says—and it’s a moment before he realizes this is a lie. He still intends to paint his nails. He still thinks of himself as the sort of person who paints his nails. But he hasn’t actually done it in years.

Summary

Slowly, his hands reach out, entangle themselves with Yuuri’s. Yuuri looks at him, briefly startled but quickly relaxing into a wide smile. For a moment, Viktor can forget that their last six hours are ticking down constantly on the devices next to them. That come morning, they’ll have to part ways, and be paired off to others by the system in pursuit of the ultimate match.

For right now, all he has is Yuuri, and that’s all he needs, too. (Hang the DJ AU)
